(Hey, Hey! I’m trying something different… Rather than making you read 100’s of words – lol, I’ve decided to post a podcast here… Tell me what you think about the new format and of course the topic at hand in the comments below! I hope the podcast entitled “Move Over, Give God Space”, “When the Stride for Perfection Goes Wrong”
I’VE BEEN UNDER THE KNIFE 🔪
The DI theme for February is pruning because that’s exactly what I’ve been going through.
It’s like, the moment I think I’ve got a good thing growing, some weeds sprout up and try to choke the life out of me.
I’m on a roll, taking care of business, building momentum, going hard after my God-Given destiny, but then I start feeling this snip ✂️ snip ✂️ snip ✂️…
It was nothing but God’s love slowing me down to cut away some unwanted growth.
Yup, among some good things happening in me, some ugly stuff started squeezing into the mix…
(Don’t leave me alone on this limb by myself 😂. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m not perfect).
Anyways, my heart tried to get me all twisted up.
Thankfully, God knows how fragile our frame is. He had mercy and intervened.
I had to realign with the foundational prerequisites to godly success. I bet these same prerequisites apply to you too!
In this video, I share my pruning experience and I believe that my transparency will speak to you as well.
Let this be a reminder to allow the Word and God’s presence to continually penetrate our hearts so that it can snip ✂️ clean, and cut away anything that’s not like Him.
It certainly takes a lot of humility to endure the pain of it all… but in the end, it’s worth it!!
John 15:1-3 AMP
I am the True Vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].
Love,
